Abstract

Purpose

This study examines the relationship between multi-layer supply chain flexibility (MSCF) and Supply chain resilience (SCR). Further, it looks at the moderating effect of environmental dynamism (ED) and supply chain risks (SCRI) on the relationship between MSCF and SCR.

Design/methodology/approach

Executives from the pharmaceutical, agri-food, electronics, automobile and textile industries were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire. We received feedback from a total of 302 participants. Prior to conducting the primary analysis, we addressed the potential for nonresponse bias and verified the assumptions of homoscedasticity and normal distribution of the data. The reliability and validity of the constructs were established through confirmatory factor analysis. Structural equation modelling is employed for the purpose of conducting hypothesis testing.

Findings

The results demonstrate a notable influence of MSCF on SCR, particularly in settings characterized by high levels of ED and SCRI. The study highlights the importance of flexibility in multiple aspects of the supply chain to build resilience against a range of disruptions and uncertainties.

Originality/value

The study presents the fundamental role of Multi-Layer Flexibility in building up SCR. The results of this study reinforce the existing literature and offers empirical evidence for how ED, SCRI moderates the influence between MSCF to SCR. These results offer valuable information to both supply chain specialists and researchers for building comprehensive strategy to bring resilience in supply chains.

加强供应链的复原力：多层灵活性、供应链风险和环境动态的作用

目的本研究探讨了多层供应链灵活性（MSCF）与供应链复原力（SCR）之间的关系。此外，本研究还探讨了环境动力（ED）和供应链风险（SCRI）对 MSCF 与 SCR 之间关系的调节作用。我们共收到 302 位参与者的反馈意见。在进行初步分析之前，我们解决了可能出现的非响应偏差问题，并验证了数据的同方差假设和正态分布假设。通过确认性因子分析，我们确定了建构的可靠性和有效性。研究结果表明，MSCF 对 SCR 有显著影响，尤其是在 ED 和 SCRI 水平较高的情况下。该研究强调了灵活性在供应链多个方面的重要性，以建立抵御一系列干扰和不确定性的能力。本研究的结果加强了现有文献，并提供了经验证据，说明 ED、SCRI 如何调节 MSCF 对 SCR 的影响。这些结果为供应链专家和研究人员提供了有价值的信息，有助于他们制定全面战略，提高供应链的弹性。
